While traditional metal braces are still the most common type of braces you will see, there have been significant advances in technology that are improving effectiveness, efficiency, esthetics, and comfort throughout orthodontic treatment. At Smile Story Orthodontics, we offer several options to fit your individual needs.
Traditional Metal Braces
Metal braces are the traditional braces that come to mind when you think “braces”. They are durable and time-tested, providing effective teeth straightening with high-quality stainless steel. You can choose from a variety of our colored ties for a fun and colorful smile. At Smile Story Orthodontics, we use one of the smallest (“low-profile”) and most comfortable metal braces in the field.
Designer Braces
Who said choosing colored ties was the only exciting part about braces? Designer braces are a fun metal alternative that lets you choose how you want your braces to look. Select from our collection of fun signature and Disney shapes in any combination that makes you happy! These braces are most popular amongst our Early Treatment (Phase 1) patients.
Custom Ceramic Braces
While traditional braces are pre-stocked and one-size-fits-all to move teeth the same way in all patients, 3D-printed ceramic braces are digitally planned and custom-fit, exclusively for your teeth. At Smile Story Orthodontics, we offer these custom braces because we want your smile to dictate the braces and not the other way around.
Clear Aligners
Often called "Invisalign®", Clear Aligners are the best option for patients who do not want any sharp wires or braces in their mouth. Clear Aligners can be taken in and out of the mouth so you do not need to worry about what you can eat or drink. Plus… brushing and flossing are less of a hassle! Most adults prefer aligners.
